Ferrofish Pulse16

Yes, the Pulse16 supports high-resolution audio up to 192 kHz, but this is exclusively available when using the MADI connection. If you are using the ADAT optical connections, the maximum sample rate is limited to 96 kHz.

The Pulse16 is designed for efficient heat dissipation without the need for internal fans, which keeps your studio environment quiet. While it will generate some warmth during operation, it is perfectly safe for standard 1U rackmount installations as long as there is adequate ventilation space around the unit.

You can precisely calibrate your levels using the front panel controls. The unit allows you to switch input and output gain in 1 dB steps, ranging from -8 dBu to +20 dBu, making it easy to match the levels of your specific analog hardware.

Yes, the Pulse16 features a dedicated headphone output on the front panel. This allows you to monitor any of the analog or digital input and output signals directly from the device, which is helpful for quick troubleshooting or signal verification.

Absolutely. With four ADAT optical inputs and outputs, the Pulse16 is designed to integrate seamlessly with most professional audio interfaces that feature ADAT connectivity, effectively expanding your system by 16 channels.

The Wordclock I/O is essential for synchronizing the Pulse16 with your other digital audio equipment. By using a master clock, you ensure that all devices in your signal chain share the same timing, which helps prevent digital clicks, pops, and jitter-related artifacts.
